Full textA crescente presença da China no continente africano é intensamente discutida tanto no campo empresarial quanto acadêmico. Embora as empresas chinesas não sejam investidores tradicionais no continente, a história ainda pode ser remontada ao período logo após a criação da República Popular da China. Nos últimos anos, a influência do governo e das empresas chinesas na África não pôde mais ser negligenciada, o que também anda de mãos dadas com polêmicas e denúncias como o neocolonialismo e a armadilha da dívida. Diferentemente dos investidores tradicionais, os observadores sempre atribuem o sucesso da China na África ao seu forte poder estatal. O governo chinês tem seu papel no processo, o que é mais importante, porém, poderia ser a crescente colaboração entre o poder estatal e as empresas. Principalmente por abordagem qualitativa, listo vários métodos pelos quais o governo da China poderia cooperar com investidores, especialmente na África. Também neste artigo, o problema dos custos de transação é selecionado como a lente teórica para elaborar a razão pela qual a cooperação entre o governo e as empresas é tão importante para o Chinês investimento na Africa.
China´s increasing presence in the African continent is intensely discussed both in the business and academic fields. Although China´s companies are not traditional investors in the continent, the history can still be traced back to the period just after the establishment of the People´s Republic of China. In recent years, the influence of the Chinese government and companies in Africa couldn´t be neglected any longer, which also goes hand-to-hand with controversies and accusations like neo-colonialism and debt-trap. Differing from traditional investors, observers always attribute China´s success in Africa to its strong state power. The Chinese government does have its role in the process, what is more important, however, could be the escalating collaboration between state power and companies. Mostly by qualitative approach, I list several methods by which China´s government could cooperate with overseas investors, particularly in Africa. Also in this paper, the transaction cost problem is selected as the theory lens to elaborate the reason why cooperation between government and firms is so important for Chinese African investment.

This project investigates the question of why local governments cooperate with one another for service provision and coordinated policies. It proposes that the selection of interlocal cooperation among local leaders in the Unites States can be best understood as a diffusion process by which local elites learn from the cooperative experiments of neighboring jurisdictions and reproduce them in order to realize similar gains when it makes sense to do so. This process, I argue, is driven by the mechanisms of learning, development of networks of trust, and interlocal competition. The project presents theory, methods, and results in three manuscripts. The first uses a newly constructed longitudinal dataset of financial transfers by local governments to show that localities are more likely to cooperate when larger shares of their neighbors were cooperating in the past. This process is amplified in regions with more intense interlocal competition. The second manuscript demonstrates that the diffusion of cooperation is most intense within particular types of local service provision, namely those that involve capital-intensive and system-maintenance functions of government, such as highways, sewers, and water delivery. Finally, the third paper presents results from an original, national survey of mayors and councilors that involved embedded experiments to tease out the hypothesized mechanisms of diffusion. Findings provide strong support for the role of development of trust and learning in the spread of interlocal cooperation.

Following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, there was concern among maritime security experts that terrorist or criminal organizations that wanted to do harm to the United States could exploit gaps that existed between the various government agencies responsible for maritime security. These gaps resulted from a lack of clear roles and responsibilities between the agencies where no one organization could easily be identified as having the lead over the other agencies across the range of maritime threat response actions. The Maritime Operational Threat Response (MOTR) Plan, the topic of this thesis, is an attempt to close the gaps by providing an effective framework to coordinate and utilize the unparalleled capabilities of the U.S. Government and enhance the security of the American public. The MOTR Plan is a Federal interagency process to achieve coordinated action and desired national outcomes. Before the creation of the MOTR Plan there was no formal interagency process to address the broad spectrum of maritime threats. The Presidential Directive (PD-27) Process was used in a limited number of cases, but lacked detailed guidance and a clear framework to coordinate interagency planning and response operations. Since its implementation in October 2005, the MOTR Plan has been successfully employed for hundreds of routine maritime threats and a number of low-frequency/high risk threats. These cases include drug and migrant interdiction, fisheries violations, bomb threats, radiation/nuclear alarm resolution, and piracy. Senior government leaders have heralded the MOTR Plan as a model plan for interagency coordination and cooperation. This thesis focuses on the MOTR Plan and whether it is effective at providing a framework and process to coordinate and leverage the authorities, competencies, and capabilities of the federal government agencies responsible for maritime security. The thesis also provides contextual information, including the importance and complexities of the maritime domain, the primary types of threats that the United States faces in the maritime domain, and the maritime security capabilities that it has to address them. The thesis also discusses maritime security interagency coordination before the MOTR Plan, focusing on the PD-27 Process, and the inadequacies of this process.

Full textThis study explores information sharing in government departments from a developing country's perspective. Efforts to understand the relationship between information sharing as a concept and the e-government(s) phenomenon are made and discussed. Literature reviewed in this study indicates that information sharing is a core component of the eadministration part of e-government. E-government initiatives are intended to enable information sharing between and within government departments. ICT initiatives under the egovernment umbrella facilitate information sharing within government departments. However, such initiatives fail to or do not achieve their intended objectives due to technological, organisational, environmental and people related limitations. The process to overcome such barriers can begin by analysing activities focusing on information sharing processes as a means of identifying needs for improvement. There is a need to discuss work activities, actors, aims of activities and the role of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in government departments, in order to identify information sharing needs and make possible recommendations for effective information sharing processes. A conceptual model is recommended to improve information sharing in government departments, and it has shown promise when applied to a selected work activity in this study. The results of the work activity case study show that technology, organization, environmental and people related factors indeed exist in the government's department and can have both a positive and a negative influence on information sharing between the three governing levels of the Namibian government. A pair of recommendations is given in this study. Firstly, a technology-organisationalenvironmental- people framework is recommended to government departments for effective information sharing. Secondly, recommendations are given to facilitate the information sharing needs of the Child Allowance (CA) department in the Ministry of Gender Equality and Child Welfare (MGECW). Limitations of the study and opportunities for further research that have been identified are stated at the end of this study.

Full textThe adoption of the 2013 Constitution of Zimbabwe heralded a new era with high expectations from ordinary citizens of Zimbabwe. Among other matters, the Constitution provides for a multilevel system of government with government organised at the national, provincial and local levels. The design of this system of government is linked to the need, inter alia, to realise development, build democracy and sustain peace in Zimbabwe. Provincial and local governments are expected to play a role in the realisation of these goals. The question is whether the law and policy governing provincial and local governments in Zimbabwe enables these governments to play that role. It will be argued that the law and policy hinders the role of provincial and local governments in realising development, building democracy and sustaining peace. The national government has excessive supervisory powers over provincial and local governments which limit the minimum level of local discretion required if these lower governments are to assist in realising development, building democracy and sustaining peace. Moreover, the legal and institutional design emphasises coordinative rather than cooperative relations among governments, thereby undermining opportunities for effective multilevel governance. It will be argued that the 2013 Constitution, however, provides the foundation upon which an effective system of multilevel government can be built. Mere alignment of the legislative framework with the 2013 Constitution is nevertheless unlikely to give full effect to the non-centralised system of government envisaged by this new Constitution. What is required is the development of a policy, institutional and legislative framework that gives effect to the constitutional spirit of devolution of power and cooperative governance.

Nas últimas décadas a Cooperação Sul-Sul tem se intensificado substancialmente acompanhando o processo de crescente atuação das potências emergentes no cenário internacional pós Guerra Fria. Tal intensificação tem gerado debates na disciplina das Relações Internacionais acerca do papel desses atores com importante destaque à observância dos desafios pertinentes às agendas de desenvolvimento e segurança cada vez mais convergentes. Nesse sentido, esta dissertação tem por objetivo central analisar a Cooperação Sul-Sul entre o Brasil e a Líbia durante os governos Lula e Dilma estabelecendo assim o recorte temporal que se inicia em 2003 e que se estende até 2014. Este recorte será dividido em dois momentos tendo como marco de inflexão fundamental o ano de 2011 quando ocorreu a Primavera Árabe e a subsequente intervenção da OTAN na Líbia bem como a transição de governos entre Lula e Dilma no Brasil. Esse momento é marcado pelos debates acerca da Responsabilidade de Proteger (R2P), princípio implementado pela primeira vez no caso da Líbia, e a crítica brasileira seguida da proposta de formulação da Responsabilidade ao Proteger (RwP). Portanto, será dado destaque à observação da política externa brasileira e os esforços do Brasil de inserção no cenário internacional enquanto potência regional e poder global emergente compreendendo este movimento sob a perspectiva da interseção entre políticas de desenvolvimento e segurança. Esta pesquisa insere-se no marco teórico do recente debate no campo das Relações Internacionais denominado security-development nexus debate esse motivado pelos desdobramentos do evento de 11 de setembro e da subsequente Guerra ao Terror e que mobiliza discussões acerca da convergência dos campos da segurança e do desenvolvimento no atual cenário internacional. Desse modo, argumenta-se que há uma dinâmica conflitiva e crescente na política externa brasileira que alterna contestação do e inserção no sistema internacional. Essa dinâmica permeia as relações do Brasil com a Líbia bem como o posicionamento brasileiro no que tange às agendas de desenvolvimento e segurança.
In the last decades, the South South Cooperation has intensifying substancially following the process of increase role of the emerging powers on the international scene after Cold War. This intensification has improve the debate in International Relations discipline about the role of this players with focus on the challenges of development and security agenda convergence. In this sense, this dissertation has main goal to analyse the South-South Cooperation between Brazil and Libya in the Lula and Dilma governments setting the time frame that begins in 2003 and extends until 2014. This period will be divided in two moments with fundamental inflection point in 2011when happened the Arab Spring and the subsequente NATO intervention in Libya as well as the transition between Lula and Dilma government. This moment is marked for Responsability to Protect (R2P) debates in International Relations discipline, a principle implemented for the first time in the Libya case, and the Brazilian critics following for the Responsability while Protecting (RwP) proposal. Therefore, emphasis will be placed on Brazilian foreign policy and the Brazil efforts to insertion on international scene as a regional power and emerging global power understending this movement under the development and security policies intersection perspective. This research is based on recently theorical framework of International Relations field called security-develoment nexus. This debate was motiveted for 9/11 events and the Terror War as well as to mobilize the discussion about security and development fields convertion. In this sense, it will be argued that there is a conflitive and increase dynamics in Brazilian foreign policies that alternates contestations of and insertion on international sistem. This dynamics permeates the relations between Brazil na Libya as well as the brazilian position about development and security agendas.

The hypotheses are tested using time-lagged survey data from 214 SMEs from Ghana. The findings provide support for the hypotheses by showing that (1) IVs positively influence the use of government research and development (R&D) support, (2) the use of government R&D support mediates the relationship between IVs and inter-firm cooperation, and (3) economic adversity positively moderates the relationship between IVs and the use of government R&D support. The findings contribute to understanding the role of IVs in inter-firm cooperation. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.

of raw fluid milk from its origin on the farm to the processing plant. Current applications of
GIS in transportation planning are discussed. Spatial, physical, administrative and legal
constraints affecting the shipment of fluid milk are outlined, especially the roles of government
legislation and dairy cooperatives. GIS is used to evaluate milk hauling efficiencies on both
local and regional scales. The case study focuses on Rockingham and Augusta counties in
northwestern Virginia and the surrounding hinterland. On the local scale GIS network functions
are used to determine optima] routes for milk trucks between dairy farms in these counties and
the processing plant in Mt. Crawford, Virginia. Comparisons are made between the results
achieved by GIS and the results obtained through traditional methods of route planning. A
regional scale case study uses GIS allocation functions to evaluate the effect of government
regulations (Federal and State Order Markets) on the efficiency of hauling fluid milk from farms
in the study area to plants outside the region. Results indicate that government regulations and
cooperative decisions shape the morphology of fluid milk shipment and that GIS is a useful tool
for regional milk marketing. Finally, a mail survey assesses the present use of automated
systems and GIS among dairy cooperatives, and the possibility of future implementation of such
systems in the dairy industry.

Full textSocial welfare services are essential for development of human capital and eradication of poverty in South Africa generally. Social welfare plays a pivotal role in enabling the impoverished and vulnerable communities and households to lead their lives through provision of care, social relief, stability and human resource development. Non-Governmental Organisations form an integral part of the welfare system through their formal and informal welfare and residential and non-residential welfare services. The role of the NGOs becomes imperative precisely because of their inherent empathy and proximity to the communities they serve. Government itself has been engaged in the process of transformation and the same challenges of transformation, governance, and effectiveness still profound the NGO sector. Notwithstanding the contribution of the NGOs in the welfare system, it is crucial to scrutinise the nature of their work and the rate of transformation to flourish in the democratic dispensation. To enhance the process of transformation in the NGO sector, government passed a plethora of policies and legislative requirements, inter alia, White Paper for Social Welfare 1997, Non-Profit Organisations Act of 1997. The intent of this research therefore, was to establish the significance of transformation and inherent issues of governance, effectiveness and efficiency in service delivery and sustainability of the nature of social welfare services rendered by the NGO sector in the Western Cape, particularly the Worcester district.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: The global wine market has faced varying challenges in the first decade of the 21st century; over production brought a power shift in favour of buyers which resulted in a decline in profit margins per bottle sold. The main gainer in these uncertain times has been the consumer. As more regions enhance their wine making skills and embrace superior technology, the wine quality has improved and competition intensified. The growing consumers' wine knowledge has altered quality expectations, placing an added pressure on new brands entering the market. The United States of America (USA, but hereafter referred to as US) remains a growing wine market, with a population size of 303 million people and an appetite for luxury goods and services it continues to be a popular export destination for other wine regions. The latter trend persist despite a cost of entry into the US market being regarded high as a result of the country's three tier system, which allows for further three segments of the value chain from the producer to add their mark-ups on an exported bottle of wine before it reaches the end consumer. The pricing system has proven to be insufficient a deterrent, particularly to the New World wine producers. Australia has remained the most successful producer of the New World wines in the export market for the past three decades; the same cannot be said for South Africa wine industry. While market and strategic orientation, industry plan and interorganisational collaboration are identified as key factors in the Australian success, the partnership between government bodies and wine industry bodies are credited for their unified approach to the US market. The South African government have programmes aimed at promoting the county's export of goods and services. The adequacy of such programmes remains in doubt, particularly in the eminent challenges in the global wine market. The study investigates the extent and nature of a partnership between government bodies and the South African wine industry with regard to effective promotion of the country's wines in the US market. A qualitative methodology is employed to ensure credibility and accuracy of the primary data. Five participants are selected for a discussion, including an exporting wine producer, wine cellars association, wine export council and two government agencies. The Vision 2020 strategy by the South African wine industry is reviewed, with the main focus on the US market and the role of the exporting country's government given the changing international trade regime. The study concludes that the US remains a critical market for South African wine producers despite the high cost of entry, global wine surplus and economic recession, and that success for the country's wines is partly dependent on a unified approach by the industry, attainable though partnerships with government agencies. While acknowledging the continuing government support, it makes recommendations on how to strengthen existing partnerships with regard to the US export market for South African wines. The study lacks generaliseability; however since it is meant to assist design effective export promotion programmes for South African wines in the US market, the absence of generaliseability is considered unproblematic.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die globale wynmark het in die eerste dekade van die 21ste eeu voor verskeie uitdagings te staan gekom. Dit sluit in oorproduksie wat tot 'n magskuif ten gunste van kopers gelei het en winsmarges per bottel wyn wat verkoop is laat daal het. Die grootste voordeeltrekker in hierdie onsekere tye is die verbruiker. Soos al meer streke hul wynproduksievaardighede versterk en die beste tegnologie benut, verbeter die gehalte van wyn en word mededinging strawwer. Soos verbruikers se kennis van wyn toeneem, verander hul verwagtinge ten opsigte van gehalte. Dit plaas bykomende druk op nuwe handelsmerke wat tot die mark toetree. Die wynmark in die Vereenigde State van Amerika (VSA) groei steeds. Met 'n bevolkingsgrootte van 303 miljoen mense en 'n aptyt vir luukse goedere en dienste bly die VSA 'n gewilde uitvoerbestemming vir ander wynstreke. Die tendens om wyn na die VSA uit te voer, bly sterk ondanks die hoë koste om tot die VSA-mark toe te tree. Dié hoë koste is die gevolg van die VSA se drie-vlak stelsel wat dit vir produsente moontlik maak om die waardeketting verder te segmenteer en hul prysverhoging by 'n bottel ingevoerde wyn te voeg voordat dit die eindverbruiker bereik. Hierdie prysbepalingstelsel blyk egter onvoldoende te wees as 'n afskrikmiddel, veral vir wynprodusente van die Nuwe Wêreld. Australië was die afgelope drie dekades die suksesvolste produsent van Nuwe Wêreld-wyne vir die uitvoermark. Dieselfde geld egter nie vir Suid-Afrika se wynbedryf nie. Hoewel strategiese en markoriëntasie, bedryfsplanne en interorganisatoriese samewerking as sleutelfaktore vir sukses in Australië geïdentifiseer is, kry die vennootskappe tussen dié land se regeringsliggame en wynbedryfsliggame die krediet vir hul verenigde benadering tot die VSA se mark. Die Suid-Afrikaanse regering het programme wat die land se uitvoer van goedere en dienste bevorder. Die gepastheid van sodanige programme bly onseker, veral in die lig van die groot uitdagings in die globale wynmark. Die studie ondersoek die omvang en aard van 'n vennootskap tussen regeringsliggame en die Suid-Afrikaanse wynbedryf ten opsigte van doeltreffende promosie van die land se wyne in die VSA-mark. 'n Kwalitatiewe metodologie word gebruik om die geloofwaardigheid en akkuraatheid van die primêre data te verseker. Vyf deelnemers is vir 'n bespreking gekies: 'n produsent wat wyn uitvoer, 'n wynkeldervereniging, wynuitvoerraad en twee regeringsliggame. Die Visie 2020-strategie deur die Suid-Afrikaanse wynbedryf word hersien en sterk klem word ook gelê op die VSA-mark en die rol van die uitvoerland se regering in die lig van die veranderende internasionale handelsregime. Die studie kom tot die gevolgtrekking dat die VSA 'n kritiese mark vir Suid-Afrikaanse wynprodusente bly ondanks die hoë koste van toetrede, die globale wynsurplus en die ekonomiese resessie, en dat sukses vir Suid-Afrika se wyn deels van 'n verenigde benadering tot die wynbedryf afhang wat deur vennootskappe met regeringsagentskappe moontlik gemaak kan word. Hoewel die verslag erkenning gee aan voortgesette regeringsondersteuning, word aanbevelings ook gedoen oor hoe om die bestaande vennootskappe ten opsigte van die VSA as uitvoermark vir Suid-Afrikaanse wyne te versterk. Hierdie studie het 'n gebrek aan veralgemeenbaarheid. Omdat dit egter daarop gerig is om doeltreffende promosieprogramme vir die uitvoer van Suid-Afrikaanse wyne na die VSA-mark te help ontwerp, word die afwesigheid van veralgemeenbaarheid as onbelangrik geag.

The Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) have been developing for a long time. Continuing improvements of internet and traffic technologies have led NGOs growing both in quality and quantity. Also transformations of global affairs into multiple issues also did a lot of contributes. People expect that NGOs could help minority to protect their rights and to use social resources more equitable when they are in the face of government failure and market failure. NGOs may also have volunteer failure problems. Insufficient professional trainings and unstable money donations are hard for them to operate sustainably. Taiwan not only received money from the United States for reconstruction but also introduced many NGOs as Christian associations. Meanwhile most Taiwan’s local NGOs provide only emergent aids. Qualities and quantities of Taiwan’s NGOs increased significantly after the 921 earthquake and multiple social developments. These have positive meanings for the development of Taiwan’s civil society. In this paper, this author tries to discuss international NGO theories. The research attempts to examine the development of NGOs and their change in management as well. This paper attempts to compare differences of NGOs developments between other countries. By the case of the International Cooperation and Development Fund (ICDF) this author attempts to explore a management principle between government and NGOs which uses resources more sufficient because ICDF have the advantages of professions, accountability and governmental budget. Keywords: NGOs, Government, ICDF, accountability
